He writes:ĭe-conversion stories are designed not to reach non-Christians but to reach Christians. Michael Kruger has warned about the power of de-conversion stories using Jen Hatmaker’s de-conversion as an example. For example, Evans calls for a “reality check” and wants to let the Bible out of the box. If Enns can disagree with Genesis or some genocide passages, then pro-LGBT Christians can do the same thing with their problem texts. What makes him attractive to progressive Social Justice Christians is that he can justify defying certain biblical texts while identifying as a Christian. He’s become something of a go-to-person for the likes of Jen Hatmaker and Rachel Held Evans. Obviously Genesis doesn’t record Theistic Evolution hence one cannot take the Bible’s words at simple face-value….according to Enns’ way of thinking. It believes science is at odds with the biblical narrative. There are no prizes for guessing where he’s going with that subtitle.Įnns is associated with BioLogos, an organization which promotes for Theistic Evolution. “The Bible Tells me So: Why defending Scripture Has Made Us unable To Read It” is a book written by Peter Enns. Doesn’t it? But not when it’s a loaded statement intended to cast aspersions on the premise. The Bible Tells Me so – it almost sounds like a fair and agreeable declaration.
